Take this quick survey to help determine the new Park 550 building name!
The Park 550 Advisory Council for the new Park District facility at 1801 South Indiana needs your valuable community input to help select a name for the building.
(See
park550advisorycouncil.com for facility information)
The Advisory Council Board is proposing 3 potential names of the building that houses the new children's play area, community rooms, as well as space for future fitness, cultural, educational, and community use.
Note: This WILL NOT AFFECT or CHANGE the name of the adjoining park surrounding the Clarke House, called "Chicago Women's Park & Gardens". That outdoor park will continue to be known as "Chicago Women's Park & Gardens". This survey is for the building only.
In considering names, the Advisory Council used criteria defined in The Code of the Chicago Park District, Section 7. "Criteria for Naming of Parks and Park Features" which states:
"In considering a proposed name of a park or park feature, the General Superintendent or his/her designee shall consider the extent of public support for, and public opposition to, the proposed name. There shall be a general presumption in favor of names reflecting historical or physical features of neighborhoods, rather than names honoring persons or organizations...."
